I Not About That Life

I am a big fan of a little revenge. I mean who doesn't enjoy sticking your brother's armpits together after he eats your ice-cream from out the fridge and gives you a shrug and an "eh" response when you ask. Mixing milk of magnesia into the peanut punch and putting it on the front and center shelf in the fridge so they can't miss it after a hard days work of burying my dolls all over the yard.
It's just part of life, riding that high of a good payback. But it seems Hollywood has taken this to a whole nother level of insane as fuck. Action movies was never my cup of tea because it always makes the lead actor/actress seem like some invincible termination whom bullets can't touch and has a come back for everything a villan says to them.
For example that guy Liam Neeson from Taken.

Now, I get that the guy is jonesing for a fight because his precious stupid ass daughter got caught up something very illegal and bad and he can't find her but after all that worrying you finally get a phone call from the people who has your daughter so you decide to give him a speech on how the situation is going to go down because you have skills and they should listen to you because you have skills.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."

I mean they didn't care about you when they took her what makes you think they are going to care about you more if you told them you have skills?
Then after that the movie turned into a jamborie of innocent bystanders getting killed along the way because your taste for blood is so strong a little car explosion here, a little shoot out there is nothing. Because you are a badass and you love your daughter a lot, even though she's an idiot.

What I am saying is, what really makes a movie into an action? All I see is the lead killing the people he/she is after but in the process a bunch of other people who have absolutely nothing to do the plot, you know the extra's, getting shot, maimed, blown up and crashed into all for the sake of some flashy escape. Also at the end of all the action block buster movies they are always standing around smiling or happy they achieved some great revenge but what about the people who have to pull their love ones out of the rubble they created. Great and dandy, you saved them but what about everyone else?

My mind works in mysterious ways. So all these thoughts always fly through my head when I watch action movies. I mean, if I was in a scenario where, for instance, a woman is robbed and beaten badly and the guy takes off and in his grief and anger the husband vows to get the guy over her hospital bed so he takes off and a hunt the creep. And in his hunt he spots him (I flashed through all the beating down doors and taking names) casually walking down the street, the husband sees red and in his haze he steps on the gas and tries to run down the robber. This is where no one sees the car hitting the girl (me) standing on the sidewalk, they just see the husband doing some fancy driving and even fancier takedown of the creep. So he gets his revenge and I am either up in the hospital fighting for my life or dead and being buried next to my grandmother.
